Hi, Does anyone know how to do speech synthesis on windows mobile? I have a urgent need to output text files as speech. Thanks in advance, Philip

yes ... had $20 on first for Vinnie Roe - was looking like he might make it - for a second there.... just a second ... :)

Well... no unfortuantly. Basically the problem is this - the user is logged into his machine at work as per normal then they open their browser and navigate to the intranet web page. Which happens to be served from an Apache web server running J2EE/JSP etc. Now - as I know the user is currently logged into the domain, why can't that users credientials be sent to the server in order to identify who that user is without the user ever having to enter their user name and password. You see, once the user logged into the domain when the booted their computer they should have a SID, why can't I then send that SID to the server to verify that user? If so - how? Phil

Problem is I have a Apache web server with J2EE on it on a Tomcat thingy. My clients are IE. So you see why I need an ActiveX control to send something to the web server to be authenticated... Any ideas? Cheers, Phil

Hi all, My problem is this. I have a user viewing a web page on my intranet and that user has an ActiveX control running on that web page. The ActiveX control needs to get some sort of information about the currently logged in user and to send it to my server and the server must then authenticate that user against the domain. I don't want the user to have to type in a user name or password, I want the user to view the web page, the activeX control to send some security information (SID?) to the server, the server then validates against the NT domain then the user is automatically logged into the intranet system. Do you know what sort of information the ActiveX control needs to get and how I could do all of this? Thanks in advance, Phil

Hi - Does anyone know how to change the browser mouse cursor for a item when the mouse goes over it, I need to have a custom cursor that looks like any image I want for when the mouse goes over it for IE 5.5. I want to program a small activeX style plug-in which can change the mouse cursor. Any idea how to do this? Cheers, Phil

Hi All, I need a Lint checker or something simular for my large C++ program in order to find a bug that is crashing it. Can anyone suggest a good Lint Checker? Really, I would love a free one?? Thanks ! Philip

Oh great... lots of people have this problem. Here's two things that could be causing the problem (there are others!!!) Sleep Apenia - Do you snore at night, if so maybe you stop breathing as well and this can make you tierd as you are suffercating at night. The only way to find out is to have a test... SERIOUSLY LOOK AT THIS, its hard to tell if you have it. A lot of people have it. http://www.sleepnet.com/disorder.htm Allergys, dust mite or simular can block up the nose and make it hard to get air during the night. You have to get a allergy test...

Hi All, I'm on Windows 2000 and am trying to get the status of a directory which has the permission to write files turned off. When you click on the properties of a directory and click on the "security" tab you can set certain permissions of that directory, such as ability to write files turned off. My question is how can I get these permissions in Visual C++? What API call do I have to do? Thanks, Philip

Write in C#, and write a peer-to-peer computer programming language where all the classes and methods are avaiable on a peer network. Everyone can reference anyone elses class and we can all build a giant class hierachy ! Cheers, Philip

I found Your Web is the best. www.yourweb.com.au They give the best support and are cheap... Cheers, Philip

Hi Brigg, I'm Australian and have lived in the USA for a year. Firstly in the TV advertisements, the people speaking don't sound anything like Australians. They sound like British people on a holiday, its the Cok-knee accent. As usual, the Outback Steak House is a prime example of Americians having a dream or image of something, the mythology of something which does not match reality. Like the USA myth of democratic free speech, it seems to be a regular feature of USA culture. I went to the Outback Steak House with a friend and basically its just another Steak house. By the way, out ad's on the radio/TV have a lot of USA accents as we get a lot of the ad's from the USA and they havn't been edited. Philip

I've been coding since 12 years old when my Father took a Microbee (Australian) computer home from work and I got to play around with that in Logo. Then I got my own and learn't Basic, at 13 had a program published in a magazine that produced a random maze. Since then programming for fun until 18 when I went to University to study Computer Science, and yes - I belive the ideas they teach are very useful, and every programmer should go to University, but its best to have programmed before University. Generally speaking, but not always true, those people who never programmed before university didn't get the intuitive feel for code but could produce it anyway. So while they can produce code, the code that is produced is often bloated and over engineered. People don't seem to realise that for every line of code produced your going to have to go back and change it later, if you produce 600,000 lines of code in a project, it becomes near impossible to change. It seems attractive to some people to produce a large amount of code as it seems like a lot of work is getting done. I see code as a lever, the smaller it is to get the job done the better. Basically coding has to be a part of you, you have to live it, however you get to that state doesn't really matter. Philip

Favorite films ever? for me they would be Electric Dreams ! (perfect motivational movie for a programmer) Baraka (no talking in this one, well not in English) A Touch of Evil The Bank Apocalypse Now A Clockwork Orange Comments ? :confused:

> What would the human race do with nothing further to strive for? Anything human made is a fantasy, even constructions by scientists; reality is only relitive to death and taxes. Fact is - we like to share common fantasies/dreams and even if we knew everything, I'm sure we would have new dreams to continue with. Just like when scientists debate whether the universe will crunch or expand, they forget the human factor - by that time we may have full control over the universe and be chatting away with other sentient universes. Its really a matter of being Optimistic. My idea of heaven is Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream.

I know what you mean about the above, I've had a simular experience with so called cheap hosting elsewhere. If your after PHP/Mysql web hosting www.yourweb.com.au is great, also must be cheap for those USA people since the cheaper plan is $40 AUD per month.

Proof again that the universe is contained in a binary TAR archive as all the coincidences allow a high level of compression.

>The point i was trying to make was that if the American Government >minds it's own business, according to Osama Bin Ladin, there will >be no furthur attacks on US of A. Do you belive the words of Osama Bin Ladin ? So your simple logic is, ok - get out, and Osama will leave everyone alone and we will all be happy little vegimites. Are you crazy or something? All countrys that the USA get involved in say "Mind your own business, don't get involved in our internal affairs". Such as China, I guess thats OK with you if people in China can't speak differing political views, so the USA should mind its own business, sure I guess it doesn't matter really to us - we arn't in China, so stuff em right? But we do business with them, so the following is important. Ask yourself, who do so many Chinese go to the USA to work and make lots of money if they hate the USA so much. The same goes for lots of foreigners that work there. The USA is not a evil empire, its simple goal in getting involved in the world is to provide an environment for companies to make a profit. That is all, and that generally requires peace, thats why selfish capitalism is so great a system, the role of government - supported by business is to provide a ever growing safe haven for business to exist. THAT IS ALL. The USA is not trying to be "good" or "bad", but of course politially its important to do it with a good image (which all countries do), and as such it can be seen as good. I wish people would see the truth in the matter rather than, over here - some country is good, or over there they are bad. That thinking is very BAD thinking, in Osamas mind he is very good, in the mind of the terrorists that crashes the planes they are very good and going to heaven. That is the crazy truth of it, they belive they are right, we belive we are right, the winner at the end is right, justly or not. Philip
